Jaqkodí: Introduction to Sewing (Tote Bag Edition), June 24th.
Jaqkodí Sustainability Series
The Sewing Workshop Experience
We invite you into the Jaqkodí studio for a refined, small-group sewing experience. Within this private setting, you will be guided through the foundations of sewing while creating your own Jaqkodi Tote Bag, crafted from carefully selected off-cuts sourced directly from our studio.
Each piece reflects our commitment to precision, material consciousness, and longevity. This is not simply a workshop: it is an introduction to the discipline and intention behind making.
Hosted by Jaqkodi and led by RCA fashion designer Lois Sarkodie, the atelier offers a slowed, immersive environment designed to honour both process and detail. The atmosphere is thoughtfully curated; from sound to setting ; creating space to focus, learn, and create with intention.
We look forward to welcoming you into the studio.
